The Wolf Who Saved Me

I finally saw Lila today. I smiled at her, but she was still the same old Lila. She rolled her eyes and walked away.

‘Look who is back! But I am glad that she did,’ I thought.

During the run, nothing special or strange has been discovered. I think the two wolves who came before already knew that the Grey Pack were aware of their trespassing. Unless they wanted to be caught, they wouldn’t come back. Maybe not right now when Reule had tightened the check to ensure they get caught.

I had just finished talking to Adriana when I turned, and Landon smiled at me. Lila slapped him on his shoulder and whispered something to his ear. I looked away, pretending I did not see it. On the other side was Reule looking at me. I think he was must have seen Landon smiling at me but I don’t really care. It wasn’t like I was flirting.

I went to the table where I usually choose. It’s only good for four, just enough for me, Adriana, and Nana Lolita. I still don’t feel comfortable sitting with the others because I am not sure of what they think of me being in the pack. I would instead stick with the people I know.

Suddenly, Landon appeared in front of me with a smile.

“Mind if I join you?” Landon said

“No, not all,” I replied.

“Actually, I wanted to say sorry on behalf of Lila.”

“Huh? For what?”

“I still feel like it was rude of us to be whispering at each other while looking at you. I scold Lila for that. I wanted her to start being friendly with you.”

“Hmm.. being friends with me? I liked that idea, but I don’t know if your twin would want that.”

Landon chuckled and said, “I know she is so stubborn and a brat, but I love her. She is the only blood relative I have left.”

“Yes, you should. I know what it feels to lose almost everything, so I would not like you to go through the same way I did.”

“Yet, I hope she would understand that not because you love or like someone, you are the destined mate. Because I just understood it, too.”

“Hmm.. where you also heartbroken?”

Landon laughed, looked at me seriously, and said, “Well, not really. I do like someone, but I know she is meant for someone else. Though, sometimes I wished she wasn’t.”

My eyes widened and my heart started racing. ‘What’s that supposed to mean? Why did he look at me like that?’

“You are really twins. You are both suffering from unrequited love,” I said just for him not to see that I was bothered with what he just said.

“Anyways, it was nice chatting with you. Eat up! I finished my food already, and your plate looks like it has never been touched. I’m going to leave you now. I need to talk to the warriors who will be with me during the night. See you!”

Landon stood and left smiling. If there’s one thing I really like about him is his smile. He is so good-looking and always smiling. Plus, what he said earlier made me feel like I was going back to having a crush on him.

‘Stop it, Wren! Don’t be crazy in thinking that he was talking about you. For all you know, it might be even the shewolf from the Black Pack. And he is not your mate. Plus, you have Reule to deal with. You just like his smile. That’s it, nothing more.’

I was still lost in thoughts when suddenly I could feel somebody was looking at me. I turned my head on the right, and it was Reule glaring at me. But he then went to Landon’s direction, who is currently talking to the warriors.

“I hope he would not argue with Landon,” I whispered.

I looked at them, and it seemed they were just talking to each other. They are probably discussing what there strategy for tonight. So, I went back to finishing my food, and Adriana came to join me.

“Where is Nana Lolita?” I asked.

“With Katana looking for some soda,” Adriana replied.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I wish they could have pity with her and let her eat,”

Adriana chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, my mother likes what she is doing. She doesn’t get tired of mothering all the pack members. But I saw Landon with you earlier.”

“Yeah, he came to apologize because still, you know how Lila is to me. She hasn’t changed.”

“Hmm..”

“What?”

“Why do I feel like he is making Lila an excused to talk to you?”

“Ha? Why would he do that?”

“I don’t know. I just had that feeling when I saw Landon in front of you.”

“Adriana, it’s probably nothing. He knows that Lila would keep being mean to me.”

“Exactly! Why would he keep apologizing when he can just talk to his twin sister to stop being such a bitch.”

I chuckled and said, “Are you angry with Lila?”

“Well, it’s just high time for her to change, not unless she wants Reule to keep humiliating her.”

“She must have changed after that.”

“Does she look like she had changed to you? No, right? That is Lila. She thinks that Reule belongs to her, and he doesn’t. If I could only tell her to stop harassing the future Luna, then I would do it.”

“Hey, I am not the future, Luna. You cannot say that to her. And besides, I don’t want her to be mean to you as well.”

“Well, for me, I still think it’s you. I don’t know, but I really feel that it’s you. I just don’t understand why won’t feel the signs.”

I did not answer. I wondered why two people kept telling me I was Reule’s mate. Reule is acting as if he owns me. But I don’t feel the signs that he is my mate. Is it because he isn’t my mate that I don’t feel anything? Or it’s just because I can’t feel it, like how I can’t fully transform or go in heat?
